hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface — known as the fleet street fox — and madeline grant, who's the daily telegraph's parliamentary sketch writer, as well as a columnist for the paper, too. it's a good job both of them are doing most of the talking. i might be getting absent. the daily mail says england will have to wait untiljuly 19th before all covid restrictions are eased, in a move likely to anger some mps, business leaders and hospitality chiefs. the daily telegraph also sastune 21st in england will no longer herald a full return to normality, after borisjohnson resigned himself to a delay of up to four weeks in lifting remaining covid restrictions. the sun calls it a blow to football fans if the date gets pushed back, as the euro 2020 final wouldn't be

able to played out in front of a full wembley stadium, and pubs would have to stick to the rule of six indoors. the guardian has keir starmer accusing borisjohnson of a lack of courage over his reluctance to condemn football fans who boo england's players for taking the knee. the times says european leaders will warn borisjohnson tomorrow at the g7 summit that they're prepared to start a trade war with the uk. and according to the financial times, joe biden has won support at the summit for a spending plan, as western leaders reject austerity in a post—covid world. right, let's kick off with susie and madeleine. matalin, a quick talk through your paper's story on what's happening on covid restrictions. it’s paper's story on what's happening on covid restrictions.— covid restrictions. it's not the most heartening _ covid restrictions. it's not the most heartening news. - covid restrictions. it's not the most heartening news. a - covid restrictions. it's not the - most heartening news. a four-week most heartening news. a four—week delay to the 21st reopening is now

expected. the government thinks that masks, the distancing rules and the rule of six will continue and sadly, it doesn't look as if there will actually be the green light that was suggested for larger weddings. on the one hand, i think this is a bit of a man bites dog story. we've got used to this formula of endless disappointment of the goalpost moving, and i think that we've just got to dell used to the sensation that generally, the people aren't really expecting this to go ahead. on the other hand, i do wonder how much more of the formula that the public will be able to put up with, especially when such a large share of the elderly vulnerable population of the elderly vulnerable population of now been vaccinated. there's a real question here about another part of the formula, the way this is all communicated to the public. it's always through this kind of linking
11:34 pm
and sometimes counter leaking from within government. sometimes it's tried to nudge opinion one way or the other. but you often get major announcements to trickle down by the press. you get this uncertainty hanging over every decision. i think it's quite terrible for the nation's mental health to be constantly living like this, particularly for people working in those sectors of the economy that still can't function because of the ongoing restriction. function because of the ongoing restriction-— restriction. susie, it's an interesting _ restriction. susie, it's an interesting point. - restriction. susie, it's an interesting point. we've| restriction. susie, it's an - interesting point. we've gotten so used to governments trying to wave flags, float ideas to see whether or not they'll shut down in flames or people might taller raise them. using the media to put the best possible sin on it —— tolerate them —— best possible spin. there is something almost tapeless about this. ., .,
